Internal Server Error 500 caused by this plugin

  • Firstly, something happened with it that broke my permalinks such that only the home page worked, but every subsequent link did not. Had to go in my FTP and delete the root htaccess. But while searching, I saw that this plugin has some temp file htaccess copies in a couple of different places.

    Saw that in my banned hosts list, somehow my own server address got added. So I went and removed it. However the second I click save, it reactivates something old in one of the temp htaccesses (I assume) and now I get the error 500 and can’t access my site again.

    It’s got me in quite a loop and I may have to uninstall the whole plugin and start over again because it’s just adding something to the htaccess that kicks me out, even if I change it, upon save. If anybody else is having similar problems, please chime in as well.

    Some features of the plugin have been reported to cause error 500. It may happened if the plugin is trying to use more memory than allowed by your server. You should enable only the features you need, turn off others and perhaps uninstall some other plugins to make more memory available.
